Thanks again for the quick reply and explanation. You have been very helpful.

Thanks for the help!! But what I ended up doing was rebuilding Linux. Yes, you were right, I didn't update the system, it was the online update. By the way i have an nvidia geforce 64mb. I want to rebuild it and update it online the right way this time (I chose ALL the options on the online update), that's the reason why I chose to rebuild it, I'm pretty sure that I chose something that made it go into that mode, so, thanks again for the reply... just curious, is there something (on the online update) that I shouldn't update that can make it go unstable?

Hi guys, Anyone know any good books/documentation and or web sites to start with? I have Suse Linux 8.1 Thanks in advance!!

Hi guys, First of all, I just wanna let you guys know that I'm a new linux user, so bear with the question. I had installed Linux 8.1 in a multiboot environment, windows 2000. Both os boot up fine, I have no trouble getting into windows 2000. For Linux, I was fine until I manually updated the system through the Yast configuration. Once it was updated, the two thigs that required for me to do was 1) execute /sbin/lilo which I think I did, I just went into the home directory and look for the path and clicked on the file /sbin/lilo. 2) Required for me to download the latest nvidia driver, which I didn't do. Once I rebooted all I was getting was the post looking like thing, which gave the done and failed status, right after that it doesn't prompt me to the GUI that I used to get, where it asks for the user name, password and the selection of modes. Now I only get is the command lines where it asks for the user name and password, once I enter them, the GUI doesn't appear but just the command line. How do I get the GUI back without having to rebuild it? Thanks in advance!!
